Application Process

An essay (2-4 pages) stating your interest and aims for the Research Observership which should include the following aspects:- the research project you would like to focus on- the research methods you would like to learn- possible collaborations between your institution and the research institution in Austria

two letters of recommendation signed by senior faculty members, who work with you and support the research objectives

a copy of your medical license and diploma (proof that you are employed as a medical doctor in your country) – if the medical license and diploma is not in English or German, you are required to submit a certified translation of both documents

If any of these documents are missing, your application is incomplete and will not be considered. Please follow the instructions carefully and save the confirmation email which will be sent to you once the AAF has received and checked your application – it means that you are on the waiting list for an observership. You will be informed by the AAF team as soon as there is a place available.
